A Thought

I went for my second jog today after one month did not have one, finally! Such a refreshing feeling! I have always love to jog! It is not just for health or to maintain my slimness! But more than that. At times, I love spending time alone, looking at the wide sky, seeing the sun setting, watching the people playing sports, listening to the song of flying birds or simply feeling the warm breeze. What a peaceful feeling! In that calmness, i get myself some time to reflect about life as whole. Thinking about the past events, the things that are happening now and the awaited future moments. For everything, all i could say is 'what a great journey travelled, and yes i can't wait for the next adventures!'

I did spend some time for outings, watching lots of movies, talking randomly and sleeping with no alarm set.  I am savouring and enjoying every moment of it! Yes, i need some breaks after the one month practicum. Listening to some stories on practicum from other friends makes me feel that 'yes, everyone is fighting their own battle, dealing with various challenges'. It was not just the teaching part that makes the tiredness grow but the process of planning and everything. We only have like 10 periods of teaching and given small tasks for this practicum. But when we are in the real world of teaching, we have to take like 28 periods per week and given some big responsibilities along the way. The challenges in physically, mentally and emotionally will be bigger than before. Life must be quite busy then. Sometimes, i wonder if i am able to cope with it. But i believe i could and everyone could too. Now, is the process of learning and training to prepare us for the real challenges. Most importantly, never give up trying and don't loss passion in what you are doing. This is not just happening to us, future educators, but to everyone in whatever profession they are into or going to be in. 

Through days, i learn that the assignments given, the lectures held and the events organised are not just merely there for us as college students. But that is part of the training for everything that lies in the future. Because in later days we are not only to deal with our career but also the people and things around us: family that need to be taken care of, friendship circle that need to be kept, relationship that need to be built or simply making time for ourselves and the lists go down. Having my practicum for one month too makes me feel like 'Oh, this is my working life in the future'. And yes, i was really rarely in contact with everyone. After everything ended, I just had that overflowed feeling of missing everyone. But this is just the earlier stage. There are still lots of things i need to learn and through the process i believe that i will be able to balance everything and everyone will too. 

I don't hope for something bombastic to happen in my life. I just want to live it, savour every moments, even through the difficult and hectic times, with the people around and feel the blessings that God has for me.
